Plywood and Lumber Storage System
Why I Built this Project
After years of not having a good plywood storage solution, and having to run to the hardware store every time I started a project,
Why We Love this PROJECT TITLE HERE
- Holds plywood of the ground and in a way that you can easily access it
- Holds lots of 8' long lumber
- You can store longer lumber at the top shelf
- You can build more dividers to go longer
- You can place shorter lumber pieces on top of the longer pieces
- Its fast and cheap to build
- Keeps everything off the floor, flat, and dry
How I Built this Project
Here's how this project is built -
You build three of these 2x4 things (for lack of better term). Each one only uses three 2x4x8 boards. Use 2-3/4" self tapping screws.
Then you attach those to the wall with screws. If you have baseboard, you'll need to either cut it out or work around it, or space the rack off the wall with spacers.

Leaning Fishing Rod Rack
Why I Built this Project
We needed a simple solution for all the our fishing rods. We have many different lengths of fishing rods, from ice fishing rods to longer rods for bigger fish.I wanted to create a system that was compact and easy to use, fit all the different rods, without requiring expensive hardware or mounting on the wall.
I have been thinking on this for many weeks, and built a few prototypes. I discovered that placing the rods inside, with the handle extended down, created a self holding system with the fishing line pushing the rod out, holding the rods in place.
This system works well with rods with reels and lines. It may work with just rods or jut rods with reels, but not as well.
I ended up building two different versions - a tall version and a half height version.
Ultimately, I felt that a version in the middle of these two was the gather choice - three rungs high, but extend all the way to the ceiling so the rods could rest on something if they strayed right or left. This is done in the plans.
Why We Love this Fishing Rod Rack
- Holds many fishing rods of different sizes in a tiered design, so you get more storage in the same footprint
- Easy to set rods in place
- Great for different length rods
- Reels set on the inside to further protect
- Very easy to build and customize
- Leans against the wall - no holes in the wall
How I Built this Project
This was a very easy project to build - I used a compound miter saw to make all the board cuts.
Then I layed the legs out on a work surface (could be an even garage floor too)
Then lay out the 1x8 boards on top, and screw down with 1-3/4" self tapping star bit screws.
You could probably get away with a 1x6 board but I liked the 1x8s because it gives lots of room for the rod handle to land on the board.
Installation is simply leaning against the wall. Then just set the rods on it!

Easy DIY Floor Standing Headboard
Why I Built this Project
I wanted our guest room to feel like a fancy hotel room for our guests. So I built this headboard that is comfortable, easy to clean and creates a fabric texture to look more expensive, all on a super tight budget. I spent less than $100 on this huge headboard!
I also built the wood bed frame - the plans are free and here.

Modern Platform Bed Frame - Free Plans in All Sizes
Why I Built this Project
I needed a new guest room bed and wanted something that felt "hotel-lish" for our guest. I also never wanted to clean under the bed again. So I designed this bed with the enclosed base and hotel style look.
It was easy to build in the different pieces, move up to the room by myself and assemble. A king size bed is a big project. The way this bed comes together, it is do-able by one person.

Fence Picket Wood Gift Tote
Why I Built this Project
With Mother's Day coming up I wanted to create a unique way to give gifts for the mom's in my life. I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought it would be a great fence picket project, so this is what I came up with.
Why We Love this Wood Gift Tote
• Budget-friendly—made from fence picket scraps
• Great way to use up leftover wood
• Beginner-friendly build (simple cuts + basic tools)
• Quick project—perfect for last-minute gifting
• Uses minimal materials (just wood + rope!)
• Unique “handbag” design that instantly elevates any gift
• Doubles as the gift and the packaging
• Easy to customize size, shape, and finish
• Works for so many occasions (Mother’s Day, teacher gifts, housewarming, holidays)
• Reusable—becomes decor, storage, or a planter after gifting
• Lightweight and easy to carry with rope handles
• Perfect for styling—fill with flowers, treats, or themed goodies
How I Built this Project
Start by cutting and sanding your pieces. For the curve, make an outline of a round object and cut with a jigsaw. Use the first one as a template to trace before cutting the second one.
I then marked and drilled my holes and added the rope handles.
After that I nailed the end pieces in place.
Glue and nail the bottom piece. You can use a fence picket here, I opted for a scrap piece of plywood that I had on hand for a more low profile look.
Fill it with flowers or goodies!
